Moreover, it wasn’t just a commoners revolt as a variety of classes were involved such as some nobility like Lord Darcy and the Percy’s and also gentry and priests stood against parliament. As well as this, the revolt was strengthened with the rebels holding Pontefract Castle and York. This meant that the rebels had a defendable territory and if in case of battle, the Pilgrims were ready with their own grounds which would make it more difficult for Henry to defeat the rebels when they seemed to be considerably stronger than Henry himself- this was a serious threat indeed. What glued the pilgrimage of grace together were their rebel
He did this by taking away all the lands from his enemies, and giving these lands as patronage to reward his allies. This sent a message across the country to those who were against him as well as increasing noble support and loyalty to the crown. This increased royal authority because nobles and other people were now more willing to support Edward because they are more likely to follow a strong leader. He did this in his second reign as well but this time he appointed magnates to control over lands, mostly close friends and family such as the Duke of Gloucester controlling the north and his own son the price of Wales controlling lands in Wales with the help of the Earl of Rivers. These friends and family were also given a palatinate which meant that if an over-mighty subject were to rise to overthrow Edward, like when the Duke of Warwick did in 1469, they had the power to build an army without royal consent and stop the over-mighty subject.
Whereas Roger Bigod was an Earl so he was very powerful and led one of the richest groups in the country. During wartime they supplied John with an army and in return they expected a say in how the country is run. However, if the King angers them the barons may refuse to obey him. This was a big problem for John! Barons have their own castles and armies so they are protected when the King decides to attack them.
The over population problem also correlates with unemployment. Too many people need jobs hence the intense competition, which goes back to those in poverty because there are not enough jobs to employ all those who walk on earth. Montgomery is extremely crafty in his argument on Island of Plenty. He is able to twist his ugly determination on how to save the world by using logic and biblical imagery to understanding and actually, for most, agreeing with his ideas. He fights off most counter arguments that may confront him and all of his sentences are simple and to the point which creates a strong, comprehensible
Some nobles (William Stanley) were unhappy with this reward as they saw it as an empty reward, they wanted land or money instead. Henry VII did not appoint many new nobles or promote many nobles through his time. This meant that if you were promoted in Henry’s reign it was seen as a massive honour. This benefitted Henry economically also as he could take 100% of the money from the land instead of a small percentage that the nobles would have given him. Henry managed to consolidate his throne well by overthrowing his opposition.
Carter gave too much independence and paid for it, whilst Reagan put Jim Baker in a spot where Baker could not succeed if Reagan did not succeed either. Not only in politics had this idea been utilized. If you want to hire the most talented people for your business, look at those trying to beat you. Hiring those show nerve and gain you reputation for being open and willing whilst showing their weakness to submitting to you. This not only gains a new tool to use but also gains you more strings pull and ways to do so.
Business elites exploited their work force and made profits to the maximum degree. Time had changed and no one could make adjustments and adapted as quickly and smoothly as business. The number of immigrants allowed to enter United States was restricted by quotas. Workers became much more united after the publication of the novels and the fire that burned at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company. Theodore Roosevelt stepped up and warned businesses to “act properly.” Those business elites that cooperated with the government elites were considered good trusts.
A standard way that the Emperors used their power was for military purposes. Because Rome was a large and thriving empire; a strong army was needed for equally attacking and defending against opposition. Emperors could effortlessly find new recruits for enlistment to the Roman legions. This would provide the advantage of larger numbers of soldiers in a battle. This benefit allowed tactics such as the ‘wedge’ to be executed as more soldiers could reinforce the wedge from behind, which would consequently break the enemies’ formation (Roman Empire.net 2012).
He is known for being an untrustworthy, shady character throughout all of England. Alice More says, “It’ll be up quick and down quick with Master Cromwell” (pg 14). This means that Cromwell will help you quickly, but then hinder you quickly; he will appear to be helping you, but with cruel intentions. In other words, he will always have power over you. Even King Henry himself knew of Cromwell’s deceit.
The Romans did seek empire, they did not back into it, their social classes were unequal, the government allowed citizens to govern themselves, and they conquered other territories to make their empire bigger. In Rome the people who were wealthier were more important to the government, their votes counted for more, and they were treated with the upmost respect. Lower class people were getting tired of being in the shadows of the elite peoples. Lower class people were basically there so that they could fight in war when the government needed them to and to be loyal just like everyone else even though they were getting treated ten times worse. These lower class people were starting to rebel, and become disloyal to the Roman government, and this was unacceptable.
